Here are the highlights from the past week.
Less than one month until Transform 2021 – The Software Underground’s T21 virtual conference is less than a month away, so it’s time to register and schedule your life during 16 – 23 April, 2021. Check out the calendar of events and make sure that you are tuned into the #t21-general channel.
SWUNG Hackathon Inside Transform – T21 kicks off with the Hackathon 16 – 18 April, but momentum from those projects will likely carry on, gathering eyeballs and contributors throughout the rest of the conference as well. In the #t21-hackathon channel, Filippo shared some instructions for proposing and discussing any would-be hackathon projects on this GitHub Discussion page.
git for you – One month in advance of his tutorial on git and GitHub at T21, Thursday 22 April, Steve has set up a Q & A in slido. Talk about a tutorial that is truly in service of others! It also means that you can might still get your questions answered if you, say, get pulled too deeply into a hackathon project.
Perils of improper sanitation – Are you aware of the perils of not sanitizing your inputs? This thread in #python has some nice links to explain what this is and when you should care.
Mapping partnerships – There are those that make maps, and there are those who want to make maps of those that make maps. This post is looking about how to structure a database to create a network of co-authorship of geoscience publications.
Probabilistically going to read it – I’ve got loads of love for those who put in the extra effort to make their work open access. Take for instance, this new publication that Júlio announced yesterday: Probabilistic Knowledge-based Characterization of Conceptual Geologic Models.
